I've one you can have for free if you like? Just arrange a courier and its all yours I think Parcelforce would be around £20 or so it's a 400x400 and has all the surround, flyscreen etc if your interested drop me a PM and we'll go from there

If that doesn't work for you I think they can be bought new from here....

Some advice from my first hand experiance. When fitting make sure the roof and in particular the sealing surface of the frame are given a going over with sanding paper and then white spirit. The mould release agaent used on mine prevented the Sikaflex from bonding to the frame and it let in water. When I gave it a good tug from above the whole frame popped out again and I could see what was wrong. Corrected and been water tight ever since.

I bought one from Ebay a couple of years ago for a friend, wasn't expensive either.

Hot chestnuts roasted and sold on the street, do you see that anymore?

Chaina is home.

Two bags of food given to him at the temple!

The fridge was already full!

There is a production line of cooking going on now, I think it's a little fraught as the conversation is fast, loud and in Thai!

The smells are mouthwatering.

Really, I thought you were offering to put Shiftzz up with full room and board whilst he recovers from the distress of his loss!

To save you removing the whole thing you can just replace the dome, it’s held on by two plastic pins.

I am humbled, a Funster has agreed to send me a replacement, I offered to pay the postage, he refused. CaptainPaul is an absolute star..

Makes you proud to be a member of a club who always are prep to go the extra ..

Thank you Paul..

As mentioned, if you don't need to replace the main frame, don't. It is only a case of 2 plastic pins and very easy. Refitting a full skylight means a dry day. cleaning off all old sealant and refitting with new and tightening correctly. If you go down the whole replacement route, get the w4 mastic tape

Hi.
I am sure the " Cooks " ( Ladies and gentlemen ) on the forum know how versatile the Horsechestnut is.. Over here,it is used in so many ways,i was told " Soups..?" and a wide variety of ways of padding out meals. Then i remembered " When i wer' a lad " Chestnut stuffing for the turkey. Waiting to try some Chestnut soup soon. Have a read up on the humble chestnut.

Dont mix up horse chestnuts - conkers (not edible) and sweet chestnuts (edible and gorgeous).

Hi.
Well spotted,thank you. !! ..........( Never eaten Conkers ) . Good job i don't.....COOK !! It was the sweet chestnuts i meant,while at the Porty neighbours just before Christmas,they told me all about the Chestnuts and their many uses,it was an eye opener ,never ever thought it/they were so versatile. Thanks for pointing my error out. Take care.

This pesky storm, I’ve lost a full tank of fuel, my Rolex, iPad and wallet full of £20’s, shall I send you my address.

Well done on being such a star ️ Hope your kindness comes back 10 fold
